The Moonster Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Just now, haufdaft said: Maybe I'm being naive but I'd suggest more than you probably think. Clyde are, after all, a SPFL club with a much higher profile and prestige than any club from the leagues below. I think most Lowland or WoSL coaches would at least be interested if asked. Add to that there's plenty of jobless experienced managers looking to get back into the game. Can you name some of them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing. We're looking for a very different type of coach now than if we had canned Lennon at the end of last season rather than giving him a new deal. Brian McLean is coming to the end of his playing career and wants to move into coaching. We're not even looking for a manger, we're looking for a head coach to work under Jim Duffy. I don't want it to be McLean, but appointing him makes sense in this model. I can't imagine an experienced manager will want to come to a L2 club to essentially work as a number 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i.d rather have Albion rovers. Berwick. Shire over some Caley, Livi or the latest new league team that play on an astro with a fence around pitch with no support or support that dont look as if theyve just walked out of murrayfield in brown cords, square chins and masters of the lidl middle aisle.. Several instutions of scottish football slowly leaving us. Leagues of B teams appearing and general nonsence, not healthy but... Yeah my lot been homeless since 1985 and one day it might/will prob catch up with us i dont disagree but we turn heads and will always be an instution..

Well you said there was experienced coaches available and in the leagues below, I just wondered who you were talking about. Teams in league 2 who don't have a big budget are all pretty much dealing in the same pool of mediocre to shite jobbers or new guys who dont have any track record. I have no idea if McLean is a suitable candidate for you but unless you're appointing a Duffy, Lennon or Brian Reid then it's someone like McLean you're likely looking at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right turn Clyde Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 1 hour ago, haufdaft said: I don't understand why McLean is being suggested. He's done a little coaching at the club this season. Is that really enough to get the Clyde position? Do we even know if his coaching was of high quality? Am I missing something? I'd rather have an experienced head coach who has regularly put a team onto a park and had them performing at a level exceeding expectation. Limiting our candidates,as both director of football and head coach, to existing staff from a failed team doesn't strike me as a winning combination for the future.

This is the point- the Board are absolving all football responsibility and giving it to Duffy. He brought McLean in did he not? He worked with him at previous clubs. He gave him the coaching role at Clyde. It’s not difficult to see a pattern here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Blair Malcolm and Gregor Buchanan sign for Dumbarton and Stenhousemuir respectively.
